The accidental gift finding is so funny. My dad got me a bike for Christmas one year. Of course it's really hard to hide a bicycle, and he put it alongside the side of our house in a part of the yard nobody ever went in. For whatever reason, I happened to be playing in that part of the yard and found it. I asked him why there was a bike stored out in our yard because I was not a very clever kid. In hindsight it's very funny to imagine his perspective on it.

From the summary of the paper, to myself it appears its authors seem to have a view that the majority of farm waste isn't recycled and go so far as to include grazing livestock in open fields, which as far as I know, most grazing livestock poop where they feed and yes sometimes the farmer /workers needs to use machinery (eg using harrows or a bar) to spread out any heavier accumulations.

That aside, from its summary, the paper seems to miss implications of heavy metal loading [1] [2] [3] in human waste and the summary doesn't mention what level of treatment processing they had determined to recycle. Typical modern waste management employs breaking the waste down with bacteria and produces a significant amount of methane in the process and are left with biosolids. [4] Such biosolids are very valuable to a farmer not for the NPK nutrients but supplying carbon for soil improvement. Higher carbon soils seem to have better water holding capabilities [5][6] along with a much better soil microbiome which is beneficial for plant growth.

It fails on even "Winnie the Pooh" picture, asking it to describe it. I know the last time we had an unconstrained model by Microsoft it turned into an AI Nazi a few years ago, but this censorship on both open source models and proprietary ones worries me, the narrative shouldn't be controlled like this, there should be a better middleground.
I said poor not unfair. They might happen to end up with equal price per flash chip, but either could end up being more expensive it’s just not a good yardstick IMO.

Anyway, what you might consider insignificant differences are things companies do consider these worth paying for. You not caring isn’t the same thing as nobody caring.

> significantly affected by the choice of controller

Aka it is more complicated than just slapping different controller on the same chips and calling it a day.
One day you'll probably look back on this and regret all the energy you spent being upset at "them." They are living rent-free in your head and in reality probably don't realize that they did you wrong. At least, that's what I tell myself when I reflect on all the jerk behavior I've ever dealt with. It's hard to let go of that crap even when you know it isn't good for you, but you should try.

I missed this comment, but what does Linus' citizenship status have to do with this? Surely you don't think that conferring a US Passport on Linus made him who he is.

Not understanding what point you are making. Is it that any displacement of US citizens' employment via immigration of foreign tech workers is somehow neutered because Linus is really good at writing code and has a US Passport? Anyway, I thought he became a US citizen somewhat recently, well after the bulk of development of Linux. Wikipedia says 2010.

It saved us continuing our evaluation of it when our sales contact told us. Our company has a strict nope on basic infra licenses; closed is not an option. We need to be able to switch (and test everything all the time on the open version if we use binaries). We have been building software for over 35 years now and we have been bitten too many times.

Just a mini-warning/FYI: running the 120hz test on my 60hz LCD IPad (Air 4) has caused that part of the screen with the crt effect to flicker even after leaving the demo. I don’t know what might cause this but it’s weird and worth a warning to anyone interested in trying this out.

(The flickering is more obvious when the control centre is opened, I managed to take a video of it but it’s only partially clear in it. It’s been about 5 minutes so far and I think the effect has reduced. I’m also quite perceptive to flickers so others might not notice it.)
Regarding Thunderbolt, I don't even bother buying USB-C cables anymore for anything important.

If it's in my backpack or used for a dock/monitor, it's going to be a Thunderbolt cable.

Expensive? Absolutely. Unnecessary? Almost certainly. But I haven't had any issues with them whatsoever.
Merry Christmas. Hope you all have a good one.
> They had been stopped by a production assistant so as not to interrupt filming. But for some reason, the PA had a last-minute change of heart and let Juan and little Melissa walk to their seats — and into the background of the show’s action.

Why is a PA able to stop a ticket holder from going to their seats just cause a show is filming at the same time a game is on? Seems shitty for anyone that bought a ticket that day.

For a couple of years now, macOS has an RO System volume image, and then mounts an RW data volume on top of that, similar to how overlayfs works on Linux. That system volume isn't modifiable. If it is, then the system won't boot.
So I'd say it's a little bit immutable.

You can click the link, but both are attractive; yugabyte and ydb; they are now 'newsql' as people call it I think; sql that scales without the pain (of course there is pain, but other pain).

> 2. Don’t expect to run any USB hubs behind any of the USB ports on this dock whatsoever... even if the downstream hub is only powering wimpy devices like wireless mouse dongles. You might not have this problem if you plug the hub into the dock’s extra Thunderbolt port...

I have this device and don't have this problem? I have a couple of self-powered hubs downstream of this thing and have plugged them into the USB-A-shaped ports on the back.

I don't have any downstream Thunderbolt devices plugged into this thing. Maybe that's the major difference between my setup and the author's? (Or maybe I'm running better firmware on this thing than he is?)
Not interesting to the people who build amateur drones for fun.

I bet that stuff like different Linux kernel schedulers, or entirely new subsystems like io_uring are written by not entirely amateurs and not completely for fun. But the ecosystem is such that open-source licensing works for such efforts. For some reasons, the same is not true for the open-source firmware or hardware used in drones.

One could contemplate on the structure of incentives that could produce a viable pool of open technologies for advanced (including non-amateur) drones.

>the people who have the ultimate decision making powers in businesses are business people... I would dearly love to believe that an alternative is possible, but there seem to be powerful incentives pushing the world towards this scenario.

Love him or hate him, Elon Musk has done a pretty good job of demonstrating that the market can reward autistic technical leaders who piss everyone off.

Obviously Elon's character flaws are well-documented. I don't think anyone should venerate him. I'm just skeptical that conventional management practices are over-determined by incentives.

I was a hardcore MaximumPC subscriber for... I don't know, basically 20 years? I was a PC hobbiest basically from 4th grade onward, and MaximumPC was my bible. It helped me decide between the RivaTNT and the 3Dfx Voodoo. It got me obsessed with the Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 sound system that I owned for a decade. It was my touchstone for all things PC building and gaming, and it was fundamentally responsible for so much of my early PC/hacking/tinkering development, and I just remember seeing Gordon Mah Ung's bylines on _so. very. much._ of the content that I consumed and loved from MaximumPC over those years.

It's hard to overstate how important his contributions were to someone anonymous like me during those formative years, but they were. RIP, Gordon. Damn.

This very approach seems to pre-determine a centralized internet, where the dynamic behaviour that you care about belongs on a short list of websites whose functionality can be implemented by hand...

I suppose my idealism is running hard into reality. Obviously, this project is feasible and does work for many sites (not YouTube or Netflix, due to lack of <video>, but does work for CNN and HN and acoup.blog and...). I want to live in a world where either this is wildly successful and everybody knocks it off, or a world where this is completely impractical because everyone is doing Cool Art Things and this simply would be impractical. But this world where it's practical, but unloved... do not like that.
This should be disturbing.

If there is a true alibi exonerating someone, then there would have been no truthful evidence against him. And yet, a man without truthful evidence against him was almost put to death row. Why is that? Have we stopped caring about Blackstone's Formulation in our zeal to imprison everyone even possibly guilty?

Did you see PG's Founder Mode essay by any chance?

>The theme of Brian's talk was that the conventional wisdom about how to run larger companies is mistaken. As Airbnb grew, well-meaning people advised him that he had to run the company in a certain way for it to scale. Their advice could be optimistically summarized as "hire good people and give them room to do their jobs." He followed this advice and the results were disastrous. So he had to figure out a better way on his own, which he did partly by studying how Steve Jobs ran Apple. So far it seems to be working. Airbnb's free cash flow margin is now among the best in Silicon Valley.

Christmas is much more widely celebrated. Pretty much everyone in my family is atheist and we've always celebrated it. I'm in China right now and many of my Chinese friends are doing something for Christmas and wishing me "Merry Christmas", despite none of them being Christian. There are Christmas trees and decorations everywhere. It has become more of a cultural celebration than a religious one for many people around the world.
Growing up in NJ my family got together at my uncles place for Christmas, which also happens to be my cousin's birthday. I'm not sure if this was directly on the holiday but it WAS winter / snowy so we're gonna roll with it.

My dad had brought over a self-propelled walk behind snowblower to help my uncle clear a sidewalk in front of the house. My cousin and I were doing as kids did in the 90s, running around in the snow having fun when we made a discovery. A squirrel had not survived the cold and was frozen solid.

My dad and uncle had gone inside for some reason and left the snowblower unattended. We decided that it would be really funny if we put the squirrel in the snowblower chute, so that when they turned it on it would shoot out and we'd all have a good laugh.

Except that isn't what happened. The frozen squirrel blocked the auger mechanism from working correctly and after some very unpleasant noises some kind of belt or other part broke. The squirrel was not hilariously propelled across the sky as anticipated / desired.

My dad and uncle were PISSED, I am sure there was some fallout but it's gotta be one of my all time favorite holiday / winter shenanigans I've been involved with.

On a sad note, this is my first Christmas alone after going through divorce earlier this year. I hope you get to spend time with your loved ones, and I encourage you to remind them how you feel about them. You never know how much time you have left, so make the most of it. You have less than you think don't wait. Tell them now.
The Pi5 is quite reasonable, and the Pi 500 by extension, but I just have two things that I wish they’d fix:

I wish the NVMe port was populated. The Pi 5’s desktop performance feels massively better with a cheap NVMe drive compared to a microSD card.

It would also be much better if it worked with full functionality with an actually standard USB-PD power adapter instead of requiring a custom 5V 5A adapter. The whole point of USB-C and USB-PD is reusability. Instead, for the Pi5/500 I have to buy a dedicated USB power adapter rather than using the existing 45W/65W/100W ones I already own.
While I don't agree with the sentiments expressed here, it's an excerpt from this speech https://youtube.com/watch?v=-1Mg4nXJ21Y and not original to the website that published it.
There’s no separate signing in use here except for the ssh connection, which can be trivially mitm’d in common targeted scenarios because of the lack of webpki and the lack of other preparations. SSHFP would help, but only if configured both in dns, and if the client is both configured to look for it, using secure dns, and the user understands the failure UX and doesn’t just bypass it. On DNS: DoH would help but it is only in widespread use in browsers. DoT would help but it is only in widespread use on android.

In addition to this a further scan of the code reveals it’s also using a btree index lookup for code comparison and no limitation on attempts, so it is likely that this is relatively trivial to attack with timing as well.

Trivialize mitm all you want, you say concerns of mitm are hyperbolic, I gave a practical example of a target rich environment and there are plenty more folks could come up with. SSH may have long been skirting the lack of a better host key distribution system, but this is largely a matter of luck, access and bespoke usage. These new deployments demonstrate a change on two of these factors, increasing risk substantially if this grows.
I think it's less of a religious holiday and more of an american (and some other countries) tradition that supercedes religion -- while not in name.

At some point the US will have to come to terms that the insane libertarianism that it shows to individuals is not a recipe for them living a good or meaningful life. Modern life makes it extremely easy for men to ruin their lives, with gambling, drugs, alcohol, screen addiction etc. We know what a good life looks like, we lack the will of forcing people who make destructive decisions into living the good life. Until that is done, things will keep getting worse.
